A Study of Relations between Mughal India and the Ottoman Empire: 1556- 1748’

Until the early Sixteenth Century, India was in self-imposed isolation from the outside world. However, with the development of relations be-tween Mughals and Ottomans, India came out of this seclusion. Several factors were responsible for this historic development. The present study is, therefore, a pioneering effort. It seeks to fill a gap in the Indian and Ottoman historical literature.Fundamental questions guide this study are what factors determined Mughal policy towards the Ottoman Empire. Did the interests of the Mughal state guide it? On the other hand, was it govern by the whims, passions, and prejudices of the Mughal Emperors? How did Mughal relations with the Safavids, the Uzbeks, and the Sharif’s of Mecca have any bearing on Mughal-Ottoman relations? The present study discussed the three major aspects. The first aspect is the Mughal Empire’s political and diplomatic relations with Istanbul from its beginning in 1556 to Emperor Shahjhan’s deposition in 1658. The second aspect relates to the story of the Mugh-al-Ottoman relations from the accession of Aurangzeb in 1658 to the death of Muhammad Shah in 1748. The third aspect includes Mughal relations with the Sharif’s of Mecca.
